Sabrina in Casablanca

Bogart and Hepburn had very distinct qualities and large age difference, but their level of subtlety was on par, making the chemistry between them exciting to watch. The relationship between Bogart and Hepburn in this film seemed more like an adult-to-adult relationship, where as the pairing of Bogart and Bergman in Casablanca had significantly more baby-sitting element, despite the smaller age difference in reality.

The two film share common elements in plots and character design. Comparing to Bergman, Hepburn is more in control, even though their roles are similar in stereotype and circumstance. This created a much more balanced interaction between the leading male and female and a more clenching story development. In a mediocre film with predictable plot, the performances of Bergman and Hepburn are especially memorable.

    The plot is so simple, the feelings between them are really a bit inexplicable. It took 2 hours to watch it. Could it be that it was more leisurely at that time?

    The film is average, but Bogart and Hepburn...

Sabrina quotes

  • David Larrabee: What's so constructive about marrying Elizabeth Tyson?

    Linus Larrabee: [offering a sheet of plastic] Taste it.

    David Larrabee: [licks it] It's sweet.

    Linus Larrabee: That's right. It's made of sugar cane.

    David Larrabee: Sugar cane. Wait a minute. This wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the Tysons own the largest holdings of sugar cane in Puerto Rico, would it?

    Linus Larrabee: Second largest. The largest have no daughter.

    David Larrabee: It's all beginning to make sense. Mr. Tyson owns the sugarcane, you own the formula for the plastics, and I'm supposed to be offered up as a human sacrifice on the altar of the industrial progress. Is that it?

    Linus Larrabee: You make it sound so vulgar, David, as if the son of the hot dog dynasty were being offered in marriage to the daughter of the mustard king. Surely... surely you don't object to Elizabeth Tyson just because her father happens to have twenty million dollars? That's very narrow-minded of you, David.

    David Larrabee: Just one thing you overlooked. I haven't proposed, and she hasn't accepted.

    Linus Larrabee: Oh, don't worry. I proposed and Mr. Tyson accepted.

    David Larrabee: Did you kiss him?

  • Oliver Larrabee: Now, I'm not saying that all Larrabees have been saints. There was a Thomas Larrabee who was hung for piracy, and there was a Benjamin Larrabee who was a slave trader, and there was my great-great uncle, Joshua Larrabee, who was shot in Indiana while attempting to rob a train, but there NEVER was a Larrabee who behaved as David Larrabee has behaved here tonight!

    David Larrabee: And exactly what have I done?
